Clackamas Soil & Water Conservation District

To sustain our soils, water, land, air and energy resources, the Clackamas County Soil and Water Conservation District provides resource conservation technical services to landowners and local community partners.
The District's project work focuses on making the county a place where our communities, environments and economy thrive together. These projects improve regional watersheds, the food/agriculture economy (foodshed), value-added forest products industry (woodshed) and the local production of renewable energy (energyshed).
